Roadmap

Make local automation trustworthy enough to leave running.

SafeClaw’s roadmap is organized around install confidence, permission clarity, local model support, remote access, and contributor ergonomics.

Today

Installer polish

Keep improving Mac setup, guided install, global command opt-in, doctor output, and first-run troubleshooting.

Next

Ollama flow

Add first-class local model setup: detect Ollama, offer model downloads, and write provider config without hand-editing env files.

Safety

Approval UX

Improve the approval path for terminal, chat, and WhatsApp so risky actions stay visible without becoming exhausting.

Open questions

Where contributors can have real impact.

The project is early enough that good feedback can still shape the safety model and product direction.

1

Permission profiles

Should SafeClaw use static profiles, per-tool approvals, per-session policy, or object-capability style grants?

2

Remote approvals

How should WhatsApp safely approve, deny, or queue actions when the user is away from the terminal?

3

Memory controls

What should users be able to inspect, redact, forget, export, and pin before long-running use feels comfortable?

Current focus - safer defaults - better install confidence - local model support - WhatsApp persistence - clean docs - package publishing - higher test coverage - contributor-friendly issues

Community

Curious builders, cautious automation, useful bug reports.

The best feedback is specific: what you tried, what broke, what felt unsafe, and what would make the assistant easier to trust.

Setup reports

Tell us where install instructions were confusing, especially on macOS and WhatsApp setup.

Safety critiques

Question the permission model. The project gets better when the boundaries get tested.

Tool ideas

Suggest small, inspectable tools that solve real workflows without widening access too casually.

Support

Support the next round of SafeClaw work.

Support helps cover hosting, testing, domain costs, and development time for safer local automation.
